Suitable for both beginners and those with some prior knowledge. We’ll take a journey through the history of whisky-making and the production process itself, and are happy to explore individual stages of the process in a little deepdive if requested. An interesting insight into the subject, even for enthusiasts who are already fairly well-versed in the subject. We’ll be tasting five bottlings, each with its own distinct character.

Jetsetter
If you’ve ever wondered just how significant the differences between Whiskys from different countries can be, this tasting will give you a brief overview. We will taste Whiskys from three or four countries, depending on your preference, and examine the factors that account for the remarkable differences in character. You will then understand why Whisky is the spirit with the widest range of characters in the world. Five whiskies from three or four countries will be tasted.

Island Hopping
Under the name ‘Hopscotch’, Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries are selling a travel card for trips to the Scottish islands. We’re organising this as a sensory experience and will guide you through the whisky distilleries of five different islands. The bottlings from Orkney, Skye, Mull, Islay and Arran will show you that an island whisky doesn’t necessarily have to be smoky, but can certainly be very spicy and maritime. We’ll also introduce you to the islands themselves and, of course, the distilleries.

Mia san mia – Bavarian Whisky
Over the past 25 years many renowned Whisky makers have established themselves in Bavaria. Many of them are relatively unknown to most whisky enthusiasts as they produce small quantities and craft their whisky in a more artisanal manner. This tasting provides an overview of the various production methods and explains the differences in character and technique involved in production as well as their impact on the final product. An interesting introduction featuring five different bottlings.

Whisky & Beer Pairing
This might sound a bit odd to some but they actually go together perfectly. They’re made from the same raw material and the first two of the three main stages in production are almost identical. We’ll show you how to pair Whisky and beer harmoniously without having to worry about a headache. We’ll be tasting three different Whiskys paired with three matching beers. Possible to arrange not only with Bavarian beer!
Whisky: 3 x 2cl and 3 x 10cl and water | Time: approx. 90 min. | Costs: €39,90 p.P.
Whisky Competition
Who knows the most? Who’s tasted the most Whiskys, can recognise distilleries’ signature styles and tell the difference between various cask maturations? Who has the better nose and the more refined palate? A funny little competition. Everyone against everyone else, or group against group. Everyone gets five chances. Five rounds of smelling, tasting and guessing. Great fun for small groups of friends, family and colleagues.
Whisky: 5 x 2cl and water | Time: approx. 90 min. | Costs: €39,90 p.P.
Myths, Legends & Anecdotes
Scotland is a land full of mysteries, traditions and bizarre occurrences. Then as now. From this rich store of myths and legends we have selected an entertaining range of stories from various fields, which we will show and tell you about. The programme includes historical events, notable figures, curious tales and haunted distilleries. We’ll be tasting five Scottish bottlings to accompany the stories.

Smoke Bombs
A very special tasting for lovers of phenol-rich Whisky or, to put it another way, smoky-peaty Whiskys. As these phenols can vary greatly depending on the treatment of the barley malt, the production process and, above all, the cask maturation and can also come across very differently when accompanied by other flavours, we aim to showcase this diversity with five different ‘smoky profiles’. An open-themed tasting for true smoke enthusiasts.

Scotland Travel Advices
If you’ve always wanted to visit Scotland there are a few things you need to be clear about beforehand. These include reasons for visiting, key attractions, routes, recommendations and lots of little details to bear in mind. After more than 30 years of travelling in Scotland, we actually know our way around quite well. This relaxed tasting session is the only one where we offer handouts, as otherwise you’d be writing the whole time and we’d be spelling things out for you. We generally present sections of routes that can be combined depending on your time and preferences. Each of these sections covers scenic roads, whisky distilleries, historic sites, B&Bs, restaurants and Pubs. We’ll give you tips on which apps might be useful, what to avoid and what you absolutely must bear in mind. For each section, we try as far as possible to steer clear of the tourist crowds.
